I had a long day
And I carried the world
upon my shoulder,
The journey was
long and lonely,
I want to lie down
and close my eyes...But not yet!

I had my days in the sun
I frolicked and I had fun,
Now those days are gone,
Gone are the wild ways of yore,
Gone are all the ones I loved,Everyone is gone except
these old bones hankering
to be put to rest;
It's time to retreat
and reminisce about
those willful days,
I am ready to confess
and mend my ways...But not yet!

The sun is setting gently
And a weary wind sighs
through the evening haze,
I want to lay my burden down
and quietly sneak away
from the din of the day...But not just yet!
